Same great performance as the original





Electro-Harmonix has found a chip that accurately replicates that highly desired performance of the Panasonic Bucket Brigade chips found in the original Memory Man pedals. Not only does the new MN3005 sound just like the older chips, but their supply ensures the survival of one of the most coveted delay pedals in history. Each of the MN3005 chips has been throughly tested by EHX to ensure they are 100% equal in performance to the Panasonic chips. You get everything that's great about the older pedals in a more reliable package.





Tap tempo with subdivisions





Tap tempo is almost a requirement on delay pedals these days. With more and more music requiring time-based effects to be perfectly accurate, the addition of this feature to the Deluxe Memory Man makes it all the more versatile. Five separate tempo subdivisions are selectable with the push of a button, including dotted eighth notes, quarter notes, 16ths, and more. And the 1100ms of delay time should be enough for almost any application.





Deep sonic control





This Deluxe Memory Man with Tap Tempo 1100 also boasts an expression pedal input for variable control over the pedal's blend, rate, depth, feedback, or delay. The modulation effect that the original Memory Man pedals made famous can be tailored with knobs for depth and rate. The Deluxe Memory Man with Tap Tempo is true bypass to not color your guitar's natural tone when bypassed. And an onboard effects loop lets you alter the delayed signal with any of your favorite effects.
